What would happen if, in the mind of a madman, love and death exchanged roles? This is the question that gave life to the story of Pietro, a young cemetery caretaker, whose journey unfolds through suffering, deprivation, religious fanaticism, and grim settings-dragging his mind into an ever-deeper and darker vortex of madness, filled with unexpected twists for the reader. Set in a bygone era, when technology had yet to exist and superstition reigned supreme, Amor Mortis ("Love of Death") begins with the protagonist's twisted relationship with his extremely strict mother and follows increasingly sinister and unsettling narrative paths, devastatingly blurring the perception of reality and the boundary between life and death.
